Freedom day.

Well, I wanted to write something profound on Freedom day and how I feel about it, but then I read Supermom's post, and well, she said it all. Just what I feel.

We had a day at home, quiet and very rainy. Amazingly no kid completely went cabin crazy. I didn't go crazy! We painted a bit, decorated Marie biscuits with icing and ate them and at least had an hour on the bikes in the driveway - the rest of the garden was way too wet. We had a great 2 hour nap and i managed through it all to at least tidy the puzzles a bit and sort them out. I swear just keeping the toys together and sorted can be a full time job.



Hunter was a busy boy while I minded the kids - he cleaned and defrosted the second fridge in the garage and did quite a bit of tidying there too.

So that was Freedom day in a nutshell- now I am sitting with my glass of Yonder Hill Merlot (our "house wine" at present) waiting for him to braai a lekker steak. Cheers!

  4. We are still experiencing some rain. Very typical in Spring time over here, but at least when the sun is out the weather is gorgeous! The pollen is now also more under control. Yeah

  6. Happy Freedom Day :-)

    I know lekker (dutch siblings-in-law, yes 2 of them, both my brother and sister married dutch people), but what's braai? Is it barbeque?

  7. Mimbles - I hear that the closest you get to a SA braai is an Aussie backyard barbeque. Not sure how they exactly differ though.

  11. Is Freedom Day similar to July 4th in the States? Either way, if it involves food and a "good" beverage then I am all for it!!!
    I love the pics of the kiddos...seriously, could they be any cuter?!?!?!!!
